2 Jefferson County infants die suddenly over weekend

Two infants died suddenly over the weekend in separate incidents, including a Graysville child who was found unresponsive Saturday after spending the night sleeping in a queen-sized bed between her parents, the Jefferson County Coroner's Office said today.

Brentleigh Grace Chastain, 2 months, was taken to Children's Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 12:14 p.m. on Aug. 27, said Phillip Russell, a deputy coroner.

The other infant, Kimiya Dashun Mitchell, was found unresponsive inside his home in southwest Birmingham.

Kimiya, who was six weeks old, had been fed about 4 a.m. Sunday. Her mother said she laid her son to sleep on his side, and he was on his back after 8 a.m. when the mother noticed something was wrong, Russell said.

The mother called paramedics, who took Kimiya to Children's Hospital. He was pronounced dead about 9:30 a.m., Russell said.
